4 Edito It is possible to be 2,000 years old and still have your whole future before you! Toulouse is a historical city with an extraordinary heritage, a city rich with the talents of 100,000 students and 12,000 researchers and a dynamic set of industries (aeronautical, space, IT and biotechnology, for example) who are all looking towards the future. It is also enhanced by the arrival of several thousand new inhabitants each year, something which couldn t be achieved without transforming the city. The challenge faced by the Toulouse metropolis is to evolve while preserving community life and without forgetting its roots. To this end, Toulouse relies on those who know it best: its inhabitants. The city has also called upon the skills of renowned architects and town planners such as Dutchman Rem Koolhas and Catalan Joan Busquets, who are all contributing to designing the new face of the métropole: a more accessible, pleasant place to live, with a glowing reputation on an international scale. Important projects underway include the Oncopole, a unique site dedicated to the field of cancer research, the Toulouse Montaudran Aérospace, a 40-hectare campus dedicated to aeronautics, space and on-board systems, and the new Parc des Expositions, an exhibition centre that will open near the airport. The question of getting around is also at the heart of the city s transformation. The construction of new tram lines and bus routes to provide a high level of service, and the development of new cycle lanes, will relieve traffic congestion in the city and suburbs. The multimodal European transport hub, Toulouse EuroSud-Ouest, linked with the arrival of the high-speed train line at Matabiau station, will transform the city centre, where the entirely renovated rue d Alsace-Lorraine will once again be pedestrianized. The Garonne and 32 kilometres of its riverbanks will be reclaimed, starting with work on the Grand Parc Garonne, the city s natural lungs of the future. Toulouse is experiencing an intense period of change, bringing synergy between the city s heritage and ambition for innovation, knowledge and creation. Our ambition for the metropolis can also be seen through actions which improve the living standards of inhabitants, such as bringing value to neighbourhoods, providing accommodation for everyone and a regional climate and energy plan to respond to the challenges posed by sustainable development over the next few decades. For all this, Toulouse hasn t forgotten its charm as a warm and friendly southern city. Its cultural and sporting life is lively and abundant, springing up in all sorts of forms across the city centre as well as in the suburbs. Concerning rugby, the Stade Toulousain has been uniting and inspiring generations for over 100 years, and on the culture front, 3,000 events open their doors to Toulousains every year, as well as the ever-increasing number of visitors that come to enjoy our city s attractions. From now on, the history and the future of Toulouse belong to you, too. I wish you a warm welcome to Toulouse! Pierre Cohen Mayor of Toulouse, President of Toulouse métropole Edito Podemos cumplir años y seguir mirando hacia el futuro. Toulouse es una ciudad de historia con un patrimonio extraordinario, una ciudad de talentos con estudiantes y investigadores, industrias dinámicas (aeronáutica, espacial, informática, biotecnologías, etc.) que contemplan el futuro, pero es también una tierra de acogida que se enriquece con varios miles de nuevos habitantes cada año, que hacen necesaria la transformación de la ciudad. Evolucionar sin desvirtuar y preservando el arte de vivir juntos, ese es el reto de la metrópoli. Para ello, Toulouse se apoya en quienes la conocen mejor que nadie: sus habitantes. La ciudad también ha recurrido a la competencia de arquitectos y urbanistas de renombre, como el neerlandés Rem Koolhas o el catalán Joan Busquets. Todos contribuyen a dibujar el nuevo rostro de la metrópoli: más accesible, más agradable para vivir, con más proyección a la escala internacional. Hay grandes proyectos sobre rieles: la Oncopole, sitio único, destinado a la investigación contra el cáncer; Toulouse Montaudran Aérospace, campus de 40 hectáreas dedicado a la aeronáutica, al espacio y a los sistemas embarcados; o igualmente el nuevo Parque de Exposiciones, que abrirá sus puertas en las cercanías del aeropuerto. La cuestión de los traslados está también en el fondo de la transformación de la ciudad. La construcción de nuevas líneas de tranvía y de autobuses con un alto nivel de servicio, así como la adaptación de pistas ciclables, van a despejar la ciudad y su aglomeración. El polo de intercambios de dimensión europea, Toulouse EuroSud-Ouest, vinculado con la llegada de la Línea de alta velocidad (Ligne à grande vitesse - LGV) a Matabiau, va a transfigurar el centro de la ciudad, donde la calle Alsace-Lorraine, enteramente renovada, devuelve todo su sitio a los peatones. La reconquista del Garona y de sus 32 kilómetros de riberas inicia con el Grand Parc Garonne, futuro pulmón verde metropolitano. Toulouse experimenta una mutación profunda, poniendo en sinergia el patrimonio y la ambición que fomenta la ciudad de la innovación, del saber y de la creación. Asimismo, nuestra aspiración metropolitana se traduce en acciones a favor de la calidad de vida de sus habitantes: barrios revalorizados, vivienda para todos, un plan de clima y energía territorial que responde al desafío de los próximos decenios en materia de desarrollo sostenible. No por todo ello, Toulouse olvida sus cualidades de ciudad meridional, cálida y afable. Su vida cultural y deportiva es intensa y fecunda, hace su aparición en todas sus formas, tanto en el centro de la ciudad como en los barrios circundantes. En el rugby, el Stade Toulousain reúne ya a generaciones de aficionados e inflama sus corazones desde hace más de 100 años. En la cultura, 3000 eventos acogen cada año tanto a los tolosanos como a los visitantes, cada vez más numerosos en venir a saborear los encantos de nuestra ciudad. Desde ahora, la historia y el futuro de Toulouse les pertenecen también. Les deseo la bienvenida a Toulouse! Pierre Cohen Alcalde de Toulouse, Presidente de Toulouse Métropole
